Definition of Oxygen. Meaning of Oxygen. Synonyms of Oxygen

Here you will find one or more explanations in English for the word Oxygen. Also in the bottom left of the page several parts of wikipedia pages related to the word Oxygen and, of course, Oxygen synonyms and on the right images related to the word Oxygen.

HyperoxygenatedHyperoxygenated Hy`per*ox"y*gen*a`ted, Hyperoxygenized
Hy`per*ox"y*gen*ized, a. (Chem.)
Combined with a relatively large amount of oxygen; -- said of
higher oxides. [Obs.]

NonoxygenousNonoxygenous Non`ox*yg"e*nous, a. (Chem.)
Without oxygen; characterized by the absence of oxygen; as, a
nonoxygenous alkaloid.

oxygen acidsAcid Ac"id, n.
1. A sour substance.
2. (Chem.) One of a class of compounds, generally but not
always distinguished by their sour taste, solubility in
water, and reddening of vegetable blue or violet colors.
They are also characterized by the power of destroying the
distinctive properties of alkalies or bases, combining
with them to form salts, at the same time losing their own
peculiar properties. They all contain hydrogen, united
with a more negative element or radical, either alone, or
more generally with oxygen, and take their names from this
negative element or radical. Those which contain no oxygen
are sometimes called hydracids in distinction from the
others which are called oxygen acids or oxacids.
Note: In certain cases, sulphur, selenium, or tellurium may
take the place of oxygen, and the corresponding
compounds are called respectively sulphur acids or
sulphacids, selenium acids, or tellurium acids.
When the hydrogen of an acid is replaced by a positive
element or radical, a salt is formed, and hence acids
are sometimes named as salts of hydrogen; as hydrogen
nitrate for nitric acid, hydrogen sulphate for
sulphuric acid, etc. In the old chemistry the name acid
was applied to the oxides of the negative or
nonmetallic elements, now sometimes called anhydrides.

oxygenated water Note: Although a gas, hydrogen is chemically similar to the
metals in its nature, having the properties of a weak
base. It is, in all acids, the base which is replaced
by metals and basic radicals to form salts. Like all
other gases, it is condensed by great cold and pressure
to a liquid which freezes and solidifies by its own
evaporation. It is absorbed in large quantities by
certain metals (esp. palladium), forming alloy-like
compounds; hence, in view of quasi-metallic nature, it
is sometimes called hydrogenium. It is the typical
reducing agent, as opposed to oxidizers, as oxygen,
chlorine, etc.
Bicarbureted hydrogen, an old name for ethylene.
Carbureted hydrogen gas. See under Carbureted.
Hydrogen dioxide, a thick, colorless liquid, H2O2,
resembling water, but having a bitter, sour taste,
produced by the action of acids on barium peroxide. It
decomposes into water and oxygen, and is manufactured in
large quantities for an oxidizing and bleaching agent.
Called also oxygenated water.

oxygenatorOxidator Ox"i*da`tor, n.
1. An oxidizer. [Obs.]
2. A contrivance for causing a current of air to impinge on
the flame of the Argand lamp; -- called also oxygenator.
